Got our Federal Tax Refund back today (finally) & it’s nearly $1K more than originally calculated! They say I made a mistake & that this is the corrected amount. Who am I to argue with the Federal...

I'm coming down with something today.  Or shall I say I have something.  Feel lousy.  Maybe I'll go home.  We'll see.

Well, my son has been a mixed bag about getting to school on time. Today he was not, but he has had a few good runs lately. He told me last night that he’s gotten a few 100’s on some tests &...

On Friday, my boss gave me 2 free tickets to see Elton John at Madison Square Garden! (He got them for free, too & he had just seen him a few nights before.) So last night, my husband & I took the...

My son is a miserable person. I try reaching out & he pushes me away. He's failing 2 remedial classes, including English (again). I don't want to deal with this anymore.

Things are very, very quiet at work right now. All but 3 other people are at off-site meetings, appointments or vacation. I was able to get the bulk of my work done, so it’s nice to have a quiet...

Well, last month we had another PPT meeting. Looks like my son is failing just about everything. It was decided that he would drop his foreign language (that he can always do later in school/life if...

Lots of stuff on my son, PPTs, etc, but that will keep for another day.  Today I am reflecting on death.Last year after my aunt died, I HAD it with death!  First my dad, then her.  I said to...

I’ve been reflecting on my own feelings regarding this “resignation” business. Thing is, I’m not angry. I know my previous post may have sounded angry, but I wasn’t. Disappointed more than...

Well, my husband "resigned" from his job, or as he put it, he "had to resign or face being fired."  Apparently there was some "incident" yesterday that he doesn't want to talk about. So this means...

Well, it's been warmer in the Northeast lately & the snow & ice have been melting.  There's still a lot of it, but it's receding.  You can actually see over the snowbanks so that you don't hit...

I watch my son & see him slipping into this downward spiral. He’s continually late to school. And late to classes. So much so that he’s lost a quarter credit of his language requirement. He just...

Feeling better today; went to work so that helped, I think.Got another voice mail from a teacher:  not doing his work, not coming back to finish any work.  I had my son listen to the voice mail. ...

Growing up, things happen to you, but they don't necessarily make you feel like you're a "victim".  You just deal with things & work with the hand that you're dealt.Today was different.  We were...

Well, it was my 46th birthday yesterday.  No big celebration, except that I ate myself silly & probably shouldn't have done that!  But whatever...back to exercise!I got lots of nice wishes on...
